TLDR: This is not an impassionate rant. I’m simply not fond of vulgarity and I think that we could have come up with any other neologism to describe the phenomenon that acquired this unfortunate name. You may get more out of this essay if you skim the Wikipedia article on the term. As of today, the definition reads:...
Yesterday, in the carpark for school pickup I heard a tap on the window. At first, I thought I heard wrong. Then I thought it was someone accidentally hitting my car. Turns out it was a friend (the Mum of my daughter's best friend) handing me a glass container filled with my favourite meal that she had made. Out of...
Your brain needs to offload just as badly as your butt does. I know it sounds boring to sit in there, alone, naked from the waist down, staring at the wall. But that's the point. Our hellish attention economy has produced a generation of anxious and overstimulated (and probably constipated) people. Quiet reflection...
Life has taken me for a ride, and dropped me off in a place unfamiliar to me. I do not think it has been unkind, nor has it forgotten where I'd been; but merely led me towards where I’m meant to be. I suppose the whole point of getting into the car is to actually leave. I doubt I’d be able to go back even if I...
Some time ago, I had an idea that I would find and mark a bunch of "no pedestrian crossing" signs on a Google Maps bookmark set and publish it. I very quickly gave up. It turns out that finding these is pretty hard - they obviously only ever face the sidewalk, so noticing them while I'm on my bike isn't always a...
I have some really good news if you’re an artist trying to get noticed: You do not even have to be good these days. I think there are enough people out there so bored on their phone, on their computer, on their whatever, just looking for anything halfway interesting. And I bet if you’re an artist, you can be at...
I'm curious about the idea of resisting the attention economy. So when I spotted the book "How to Do nothing - resisting the attention economy by Jenny Odell" at Camberwell Market, I bought it for the bargain price of $5. Today I read about the concept of Connectivity vs Sensitivity in the opening chapter (not that...
What I'm Doing Right NowIt's brisk, cold and wet right here in Melbourne. I have just finished my 8 weeks challenge at BFT (Body Fit Training). The promise of a BFT hoodie was simply a ploy to get myself out of bed, and doing some sort of training in the depths of Winter. When I put my mind to it, I'm pretty good...
In university I took small jobs in town whenever I could. It was an excuse to get off campus, it meant a little cash in my pocket, and I got to interact with townspeople, most of whom had strong opinions about my school. The jobs were usually one-offs and involved gruntwork of the handyman variety. One day I might...
Every time I leave the US, I’m always struck by how happy other people seem to be. I’ve been to six continents, dozens of countries. Nowhere else have I experienced such deeply internalized bitterness, entitlement, and misanthropy as I do back home. There’s something wrong here. We’re not well. I’m recently back...
